Frequently asked questions
How does the difficulty setting work?
The difficulty rating (1-5) determines how much time each subject gets in your timetable. Higher difficulty subjects receive more study time.
How many hours should I study per day?
During term time, 2-4 hours per weekday and 4-6 hours per weekend day is realistic. During exam leave, you can increase this to 6-8 hours per day.
Can I edit my timetable after generating it?
Yes! You can drag blocks between days and time slots, change the duration of each study session, and add breaks between blocks. Click 'Edit Settings' to change subjects or study hours.
What revision technique works best?
Active recall (testing yourself) and spaced repetition are proven most effective. Avoid passive re-reading. Practice past papers regularly.
How far in advance should I start revising?
Start 3-4 months before your exams. For GCSEs, begin in February. For A-Levels, start in March. Create a realistic timetable you can maintain.
How do I make a revision timetable?
Start from the fixed points rather than the subjects: your exam dates, school hours, and the evenings and weekends already committed. What is left is the real revision time available, which is usually less than expected. Fill it with short named sessions — a topic, not a subject — and leave one slot a week empty to absorb the sessions you miss. A timetable with no slack gets abandoned after the first bad week.
What should I do when I fall behind the timetable?
Do not rebuild the whole thing, and do not try to make up every missed session. Move the topic you missed into the next free slot, drop the least valuable session that week, and carry on. A timetable is a tool for deciding what to do next, not a record of what you failed to do.
